New crew help, quest for new records propelled Illinois icon to dominant season<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

At just 24 years of age, Bobby Pierce<\/a> has now reigned supreme over the Midwest\u2019s most grueling Dirt Late Model tour four times. But this one just might be his most impressive.<\/p>\n

His fourth career DIRTcar Summer Nationals title run included 13 Feature wins, 23 top-fives and 25 top-10s in 28 starts, plus five weekly points titles for a grand total of $119,000 in first-place and championship earnings alone.<\/p>\n

Pierce also set a new personal-best for wins in a single season \u2013\u00a0just two shy of fellow four-time champion Shannon Babb\u2019s record of 15, which he established in 2005. To top it off, he finished with a 178-point advantage<\/a> over runner-up Ashton Winger, all while having one less appearance than five of the other seven full-time drivers.<\/p>\n

Overall, it was one of the most dominant and high-profile summers of his young career \u2013\u00a0one that began from the humble days of his early teens, with father and two-time Summer Nationals champion Bob right by his side.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve just gotta give a huge thanks to my dad, mostly,\u201d Pierce said. \u201cStarting me off pretty young, going to all these racetracks right in the beginning of my racing career. He pushed me to be the best that I could be, and it goes a long way.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a long journey, even though I\u2019m pretty young. It\u2019s been a long journey so far, and I\u2019m excited to maybe go on and get another four championships,\u201d Pierce said.<\/p>\n

But for the past three seasons, the Summer Nationals yard had been run by Illinois rival Brian Shirley. Pierce\u2019s partial participation of the 2018 and 2020 tours, along with a runner-up effort in 2019, set up his chance for a return to the top in 2021.<\/p>\n

On his climb back up the mountain from his home in Oakwood, IL, Pierce fended off some of the toughest full-time competitors from outside the state of Illinois the tour has seen in the last several years. Winger, Tanner English, even Devin Moran came out and scored two wins on tour over the 68-day stretch.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor sure, Summer Nationals has its competition,\u201d Pierce said. \u201cWhether they think it or not, it definitely does. I think racing against that competition every night is what propels us to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through all 1,240 laps of Feature competition, Pierce and his team sharpened their skills and only became more consistent as the season continued \u2013\u00a0most notably rattling off three-peat wins at Beaver Dam Speedway<\/a>, Davenport Speedway<\/a> and The Dirt Oval at Route 66 Raceway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely feel like we\u2019re more improved than we were last year,\u201d Pierce said. \u201cEven when we go to all these other races, we\u2019ve been doing pretty good, qualifying good, running up front in the Features\u2026 Hopefully we can just keep that up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their team got a few new additions for the tour, including tire prep specialist Kyle Albury and crew member Josh Raymond. The two joined forces with the Pierce father-son duo to make one of the most well-oiled machines in the pits.<\/p>\n

\u201cI give them an A, for sure. Everyone was working very hard. It\u2019s definitely one of the toughest series when it\u2019s super hot outside,\u201d he said. \u201cYou have those long, late nights\u2026 we hit a deer early on [in the tour]\u2026 just stuff like that happens that you don\u2019t expect.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt made it pretty challenging with all the stuff thrown at us. And with that, we still ended up winning the points, and winning it by a lot. So, I\u2019ve got to give everyone props for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twenty-eight races over any stretch of time is a lot for even the best Dirt Late Model teams in the country to take on, let alone perform at the top level every night. The tough courses, ranging from high-banked quarter-miles, to long, flat half-miles, are at the core of what makes the Summer Nationals unique. Pierce has been around the block several times now and knows that it\u2019s a driver-crew-fortune combo.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve gotta be good, but you\u2019ve gotta have some luck, too,\u201d Pierce said. \u201cYou can\u2019t have any failures and you\u2019ve gotta qualify good every night. Every night\u2019s a new battle within itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust to be the fastest car every night is one thing, but you go to all these different places and track conditions \u2013\u00a0to be consistent is really key.\u201d<\/p>\n

Consistency wins championships, but records get the instant glory. Pierce owned 12 victories heading into the final four-race swing through Michigan, and won the first at Butler, but ultimately fell a few short of tying Babb\u2019s record of 15.<\/p>\n

Next year, he\u2019ll start another quest to try and break it, while aiming for a fifth championship and the century mark in Feature wins.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could definitely maybe happen,\u201d Pierce said. \u201cIf we don\u2019t get that\u2026 if anything, it\u2019s going to be a long time until I reach 100 wins, like [Shannon] Babb and [Billy] Moyer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
